Chapter 187 Artillery
The dwarven artillery unit is based on artillery, a brigade is a hundred guns, with three hundred combatants, three people per gun, and a main gunner, who is responsible for aiming and firing the cannons; a deputy gunner, who observes the reload; A transporter is responsible for carrying ammunition on his back.
In addition to the dwarven artillery brigade that set out from the Black Iron Castle, Goldbeard also removed twenty guns from the other side of the Gelong River, and the artillery of two squads was given to Ma Long.
The artillery on the other side of the river was originally used to defend against the barbarians, but during this time they were fighting fiercely, and Goldbeard felt that there should be no problem, so he dismantled it privately.
Since the death of the barbarian king, the barbarians have not been at peace, except for the south bank was cleaned up by Marlon and almost wiped out, and the north has also been in civil war.
After several years of fighting, there are now only two major tribes left, one of which is the tribe where Orfgang is located, and has been receiving support from the dwarves in terms of equipment and materials.
The chief of another tribe is called Gu Ling, and Ma Long also knows him, who was a barbarian leader when he assassinated the barbarian king.
fought hard with Ma Long's fire sword technique, which not only made Ma Long take two steps back, but also cracked the fire sword technique.
This person Ma Long can be said to be impressed, he can also be said to have experienced a hundred battles over the years, and he has never encountered such a situation.
The opponent's strength is obviously not strong, but he can do this, all because of the weirdness of the weapon in his hand!
Marlon later asked the dwarves as well, and through them, he learned about the special metal Titan Divine Steel, or the fallen Titan Divine Steel, which created the weapons in the hands of the ancient spirits.
It was a rarer existence than gold essence, which was the strongest primary metal on the continent, and there was no disputing that.
Titan Divine Steel is not a single metal, it is an alloy, and its properties are above that of pure gold, and the entire continent is extremely rare.
No one knows the formula, and no one knows who synthesized it, only that it appeared very early and is considered a non-renewable resource.
The name can only speculate that it may have been left behind as a Titan from the Age of the Gods.
The Titan Divine Steel Battle Ax in the hands of the ancient spirit was deeply eroded by negative energy, and belonged to the Fallen Titan Divine Steel.
Kills enemies to increase their strength, similar to Marlon upgrades.
It's just a little bit like it, and it can't really compare to the panel.
The power enhanced by the Fallen Titan Divine Steel does not belong to the individual, but to the weapon, and once the weapon is lost, the increased power will disappear.
And as you kill more with a tomahawk in your hand, you will gradually be eroded and become a puppet who only knows how to kill!
Orff Hill has weapons provided by dwarves, food produced by humans, and it has not been able to dominate the barbarians for a long time, just because the ancient spirit is too strong, it is really a one-man pass, and it is impossible to open it.
However, Ma Long speculated that Gu Ling would not last long, maybe in the near future, or maybe in the next battle, Gu Ling would lose consciousness.
Then he went on a killing spree and finally died, and it was not surprising that Orfgang was a foregone conclusion that he would unify the barbarians......
Marlon asked the dwarves to borrow artillery, not because the Blackstone Leader himself did not have production technology.
The two are now engaged in a comprehensive technical exchange, and it makes no sense that dwarves understand it, and humans don't understand it.
However, some things can not be made after understanding, just like Ma Long's previous life, a small round vermilion pen bead, how many years of national research to achieve self-production, and before it has been imported.
Is that thing difficult?
At least it doesn't seem to be difficult, but it just can't be done, so what?
The same is true of Blackstone Collar's self-produced artillery, the technology is there, but it is difficult to make qualified goods.
The old problem, I can't keep up!
Marlon always thought that he could solve the problem by learning the techniques of the dwarves, but it turned out that he was too naïve.
Dwarves are skilled in forging, not only because of their talent, but also because of their longevity.
As dwarves with hundreds of years of lifespan, they can spend hundreds of years studying iron, even idiots can become talents.
And humans and goblins, from being able to wield a sledgehammer to not wielding a sledgehammer, have only been a few decades, which is one-tenth of that of a dwarf.
In this era where everything depends on handwork, the technical background depends on people......
For this reason, Malone became more and more determined in his sense of industrialization.
The dwarves have already taken the first step, and now they are allies with the Blackstone Leader, but if the gap in strength is too large in the future, no one can guarantee what will happen.
Take the industrialization route, with Ma Long, the traverser, and Green, the heir of the ancient goblin technology, so he will not go the wrong way.
Although Ma Long's understanding of the so-called industry is assembly lines and machine tools, the content inherited by Green's heir is also incomplete......
Marlon counted the troops drawn from Tucheng, and did not wait for John's return, nor did he wait for the dwarven artillery brigade to arrive.
After completing all the arrangements in Tucheng, he led the army all the way south, passing through the northern pass and the southern pass of the Grand Canyon, and went straight to Black Rock City.
Not to mention the pedestrians along the way, the business travel is endless, but there is not much difference, and you can always meet pedestrians from time to time.
There are caravans, and there are lone adventurers.
The roads between the two places have been completely smoothed, and there is no difficulty for cars, horses, and people to pass.
If Ma Long wants to get rich, he will first build roads and implement them thoroughly.
Along the way, the merchants saw the army under the command of Ma Long, and they all avoided the roadside, they offended no one and didn't want to offend the lord of the Black Stone Lord, this is the God of Wealth.
There are people who don't know, and there are also elders next to them who understand, "Don't speak ill of the lord in the Black Stone Territory, you will be killed, even if you can't be killed, no one will trade with you again......"
It has been quite a short time since Malone arrived in Black Rock City.
Blackstone City has changed a lot from a few years ago.
First of all, the size, the area that was previously enclosed by the city walls became the inner castle.
Outside the inner city, a large circle was expanded, a new wall was built, and the entire Gem Lake was encompassed.
Originally, Blackstone City did not have a moat, but now it has it, and the water source comes from the Jewel Lake.
These are the handiwork of wizards!
Not to mention their ability in combat, in terms of infrastructure, it is so convenient to have their help, and the efficiency is unprecedented!
Handed over the soldiers to the barracks arranged by Steck outside the city, and rejected the guards he had kindly arranged, Marlon entered the city alone.
Blackstone City is more lively than before, with people coming and going, and it is very noisy.
The streets are lined with shops, and pedestrians come and go, discussing with each other, choosing their favorite goods, and haggling with the shopkeepers.
The city was established as a large trading market, and the city of Black Rock was not desolate.
Not only is it located on the main transportation route, but also the special products such as salt, sugar, and wine, which are unique to the Black Stone Collar, most of which come from here, and the surrounding area is the main source of a large amount of grain.
Now the goods of the Black Stone Collar are no longer used to be pulled out and sold by their own caravans, but countless people have taken the initiative to pick up the goods.
Although the income is less, the efficiency has risen.
Entering the inner city, it is quieter than the outer city, and most of the locals live, and outsiders generally can't enter.
